Song covers that are better than the originals

I was listening to Billy Idol's cover of LA Woman, and I thought to myself that his version is way better than the original. So I thought I'd post a few covers that I enjoy more than the originals and see what others can add. My top five in no particular order:

LA Woman - Billy Idol
Just a Gigolo - David Lee Roth
Feelin Alright - Joe Cocker
Roll Over Beethoven - The Beatles
MacArthur Park - Donna Summer

Pretty obvious choice but Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" I prefer the Dave Mason version over that one.

Feelin Alright - prefer the Dave Mason version.

Voodoo Child-prefer Kenny Wayne Sheppards also.

People get ready - prefer the Jeff beck version.

Pretty Woaman - like the VH version.

Happy Listening.
